WASHINGTON, Jan. 21 (U. P).
“w-THe government intends to regain control of the soft coal mines until June 30 unless a, new union-man-agement contract is signed, government; sources said today. June 30 is the expiration date of federal authority to hold properties seized in labor disputes. President John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers (A. F. of L) already has raised the threat of another national coal strike for mid-
"night March 31. If no agreement
between Mr, Lewis and the industry is reached before then, the government would be thrown into another tug of war with the mine union. No Agreement in Sight Federal coal mines administration officials sald the government would like to return the mines “tomorrow wor last week.” “But,” one official said, “it doesn’t ook a sif an agreement between the owners and the union is imminent, so we'll just have to hang on.” He said the supreme court's decigion on the government's contempt

the union would havé no bearing on return of the mines. The high court heard arguments on the case last week and a decision is expected next month. on “Our is crystal clear,” this official said. “We took over the mines last May to gets coal and to assure continued. production. That's just exactly why were keeping them now.” ; Disagree on Interpretation The only interruption in the government's * operation of the

Production Goes Up; Build More Stations
> By MARC J. PARSONS NEA Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Jan, 21.—1947 will be frequency modulation’s year in radio. The infant industry, which was struggling for a foothold In the radio world only six months ago, is expected fo be a roaring giant before the year's end. - Production of receivers is growing by«leaps and bounds—24,000 sets in October, 28,000 in November, more 42,000 in December: : The industry's experts expect that 1947 total production will- top 3,000,000, with the industry hitting a rate of 5,000,000 a year by Deember. They'll Boom Together Maj. Edwin H. Armstrong is the grey-haired, soft-spoken radio genjus who spent almost 20 years developing FM's staticless transmission. He expects FM receiver manufacturers to do a $100,000,000 business in 1947, and that, he feels, is a conservative figure. The “chicken-egg” era is past, Maj. Armstrong says. “Some people have asked, ‘How can you sell FM radios when there are no stations to listen to?’ while others have said nobody would build FM stations until there was a big listening audience,” he told the Frequency Modulation association. “Well, the public has had just enough of a taste of FM to decide it wants it and will pay for it, whereas they will no longer buy the ‘old fashioned’ kind of radio.” 400 Permits Granted Approximately 20 major radio receiver manufacturers are pushing FM now. So far, most of the sets available have been console models that sold for an average uf about $200 each. During the coming year more and more table models at lower retail prices are expected to be available. Prices of the more expensive models are expected to

drop somewhat as production climbs. Six months ago there were only about 50 FM stations in sctual operation. According to the latest figures there are 136 now and new ones are being added almost daily. One midwest radio station executive, Walter J. Damm of Milwaukee, has predicted that within six years FM will replace standard broadcasting. Chairman Charles R. Denny is just about as enthusiastic.
The FCC has granted more than 400 construction permits to FM stations, Mr. Denny reports. Another 200 conditional grants have been issued and 300 more applications are

more than 100 additional units. Mr. Denny predicts that there will be “more than 700 FM stations on. the air” before 1948. “The commission is bending every effort to assist in the development of FM and we look to the broadcasters to do their part,” he told one group. If the FCC, the broadcasters and the manufacturers work together, 1947 will be a “banner year” in broadcasting, he believes. Hugh D. Lavery, an advertising executive, warned the association, however, that its big potential listening audience wanted more than the “long-haired music” which most FM stations have feature 80 far. *“Let’s have some PM “mp stations with jive for the bobby sox brigade, so they'll be growing up with FM." As Maj. Armstrong says: * “FM has been on dead oster. It's ready to roll now.”

Rises and falls in food prices do not necessarily mean costs are about to drop in other living essentials
